Crafted from malted barley and aged 13 years in oak before spending nine months in an Oloroso octave cask, this single cask release showcases the elegance and depth that Lowland Scotch whisky lovers seek. Bottled at a bold 54.3% ABV, only a limited number of bottles were produced from cask #3545136.

Expect inviting aromas of dried fruit, toasted nuts, honeyed malt, and warm oak layered with subtle sherry sweetness. The palate reveals notes of dark caramel, spice, orange peel, and gentle chocolate, finishing long and warming with rich Oloroso influence. Best enjoyed neat or with a splash of water to open its layered character.
